amps for dunlavy sc4


I would be interested to hear from owners of Dunlavy SCIV and what amps they use and their impressions. I just purchased a pair and now want to replace the Adcom 545. Thanks, Ben.

I like Pass Aleph O monoblocks with a Pass P preamp all running on balanced interconnects. The Pass O delivers 150 WPC into 4 Ohms (my SC-4s). I use the Dunlavy speaker cable but am up in the air regarding its quality.
I've used Aloia, Rowland, Levinson, Pass in solid state, Kora, Air Tight, Cary in tubes and three different models of Plinius. The Plinius is a fantastic match with the Dunlavy III's, IV and IVa's.
Incidentally, J-D is also running a review of these speakers!
Other amps I liked with the IVa (but head J-D's advice) are the following:
YBA Passion stereo (ss)
Symphonic Line Kraft 250 (ss)
Jadis defy (tube)
(In no order of preference).
Note, I never lived with the IVa's -- just auditioned them at a friend's house.
i've auditioned them with pass and arc and have them at home with VTL 185s. Like stated above the bass is a little better with the solid state but the mids and highs sound so good with tubes it was a no brainer to me. the VTL do a good job with the bass so i don't feel like i'm missing anything
I've got the sc3's... and they LOVE the Steve McCormacks DNA 0.5 Rev. A (Steve's new outfit is SMCAudio... and the mod's turn a good amplifier into a great performer...)
